cool things: photographers for changing the world

October 16, 2014jacqueline horningComment

I love it when talented people use their talents to bless other people. I always wanted a job that involved a transferrable skill for that reason (and is now one of the many reasons I love photography!).

Artifact Uprising, a company with beautiful products to encourage you to print your images, and Charity : Water, a non-profit with a cool story and great mission, came together to bring even more clean water to those who need it. You can support the campaign by purchasing a postcard pack of water images.

Just wanted to share. I hope you are inspired as I was, consider supporting, and find a way to give your talent away!

Little Forest was welcomed home by his big sister June. His parents are thrilled and I loved watching them all together. This newborn session was extra special for me since Forest is my nephew. My sister and I were pregnant at the same time (and we thought it was funny when we came downstairs wearing the same outfit in the morning) and had babies six days apart. She is an understanding, encouraging and honest mama and I am so grateful for her.

As you can imagine, their newborn session was postponed a few weeks! Here is Forest and the family at four weeks old. Prats family, I love you all, you beautiful people, you!

Enjoy those little toes, Prats family!

April+Trevor's Classy Handmade Wedding

In honor of their anniversary, I wanted to share April and Trevor's wedding day with you. (Remember their engagement session?) It was a beautiful October day - a warm (even hot!) afternoon and cool night. Hand-written signposts and a vintage teal pick up truck welcomed guests to the old estate in the afternoon and s'mores and a fire pit sent them home happy.

Congratulations a+t. May your marriage be forever sweet!

A Red, White and Blue Wedding

It's been a bit of a rough week (I was sick, then the baby got sick, now P is sick...grr) but working on THIS lovely day was a bright spot. Have I ever had so much trouble narrowing down images? I loved so many of them that a few more than usual may have slipped into this post. :)

I left my house that July 4th morning under a rain coat, umbrella, and all kinds of rain gear to brave the hurricane that was blowing through, but Brandon and Melissa managed to get married under beautiful blue skies. I like these two. They both were ready first then fastened dresses and tied ties for others. She kicked off the sparkly heels and went barefoot with a "sure, let's go" for a photo. And he - he loves her well. Ah weddings. Enjoy!
